Chalong

Chalong is a district in Phuket, but it’s also the name of the place you should go when you want some exciting Thai food. This Hell’s Kitchen spot has a spacious, earth-toned dining room that works well for almost any occasion, and their menu features a lot of rarely-seen seafood dishes like shrimp and crab stuffed in crispy tofu skin and a spicy herb salad with raw oysters. Similar to the one at Fish Cheeks, the crab curry is a must-order, and you can get it without a horrendous wait because it’s easy to get a table here (for now).
